Weekly Summary  - ( South Dakota )  - June 1, 2026

Worthing, SD Mon Jun, 08 2026 South Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary Weighted Average Report for 6/01/2026 Current Previous Year Ago —————————— —————————— —————————— Total 21555 4509 21483 Feeder Cattle 20445 3935 20492 Slaughter Cattle 1110 574 991 Compared to last week: A much larger offering of feeder cattle this week, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, instances of 10.00 higher, heifers mostly steady in narrow comparisons. Very good for steers and heifers, as the CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts rebounded this week, the market at the auction was very active. Cattle feeders were feeling better about the market this week and were willing to fight a little harder to get some cattle bought. Long strings of yearlings continue to come to town as backgrounders are wanting to capitalize on this market and get their stock moved. Rains have come to many areas that were in need, yet more is needed to ensure a full grazing season. Corn market continues to slide lower, yet hay has become a very valuable commodity that is raising the cost to feed cattle. Cash fat cattle up to 258.00 as market ready supplies are still not large enough to take away the leverage from the cattle feeders.
